A new theory aims to explain the mysterious disappearance of planes and ships around the Bermuda Triangle.
Meteorologists revealed that strange clouds linked to super-powerful “air bombs” could be capable of bringing down large objects,while speaking to Science Channel’s “What on Earth?”
According to the New York Post, scientists used satellite imagery to detect “hexagonal”-shaped clouds between 30 and 80 km wide, with a hurricane-like force of 275 km/h, forming over patches of water.
“The satellite imagery is really bizarre … the hexagonal shapes of the cloud formations,” said meteorologist Dr. Randy Cerveny. “These types of hexagonal shapes in the ocean are in essence air bombs. They’re formed by what is called microbursts and they’re blasts of air.”
The Bermuda Triangle, which is located between Miami, Puerto Rico and the island of Bermuda, has baffled researchers for decades. The area has been synonymous with objects mysteriously disappearing.
While most scary, uneventful.
UNLESS I'm now in an alternative universe and everyone in the original universe is now wondering what happened to us.
You apparently would know much more about the underwater geography...and I took a look, it sure does seem like it would be somewhere subs would go.
I read somewhere that if you wanted to visualize the part of an ocean that submarines made for warfare (not deep see diving vessels) can access, stand in a room with an eight foot high ceiling, think of floor to ceiling as the depth, and submarines can access a matchstick’s length from the ceiling.
Read “The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved” by Larry Kursche.
He is/was a Librarian and actually went back and looked at newspaper articles, and, other eye witness reports, from the time of the more famous incidents. Almost all were shown to have disappeared during bad weather, at least one, during a Hurricane.
NOVA did an episode on the Triangle and got at least one of the authors, Richard Winer, to admit he lied to make the stories better. Kursche was was involved with the episode.
Russia’s fault.
You drew the short straw, FRiend.
Who could imagine that every media outlet in the US would crank out propaganda to support a Criminal Family’s blatant attempt to turn the country into a Kleptocracy?
No fiction writer would dare dream of such an alternate universe!
Subs like to stay under tropical depressions the bastards.
“Two men and a plane just disappeared without a trace. I believe that was back in 1978.”

LOL, I guess if I were them, I would too! They probably had a good chuckle at the discomfort of the Yankees bobbing around on the surface!
The bastards!
Ivan is a lot smarter than we give them credit for.
No doubt. While I think that if we had ever gotten into a non-nuclear hot conflict with them, it would have been very bloody, but I think, even with their numbers advantages, we would have defeated them.
Of course, that was then.
Flew into a “Water Spout” aka tornado with un-godly amounts of water/moisture shooting upward.
I read a Nav Air tech report in the 70’s from a pilot who entered one at about 30 thou and in seconds he was 100 thou up,inverteted,out of control and lucky, per him, to made it home.
Is that the Sargasso Triangle?
Havent read much about it.
Spot on. A darned good book.
The title, "The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved", intrigued me as I thought it a rather pretentious title. Boy, was I wrong! Chapter and verse, he takes apart all the "mysterious" disappearances.
There was a classic media hype article at the end. They reported that a pleasure cruiser was found adrift in the Triangle, with no one aboard and nothing disturbed. Headline: "Bermuda Triangle Strikes Again". It turned out that a couple of guys took their boat out, beached it on one of the Bahama Cays, partied until they passed out. Tide came in and boat went out. Coast Guard finds them a day later. Next headline says "Bermuda Triangle RELEASES (my emphasis) crew of boat".
Kusche has another good debunking book titled The Disappearance of Flight 19 wherein he dismantles the "mystery" of that flight's disappearance. (The flight leader got lost and discipline killed them ("All we have to do is head East" by the pilots was ignored)).
The Berlitz book on this is a total fraud. He says that Taylor said "Don't come after me, they look like they are from Mars." when he actually said something like "Don't come after me, I know where I am".
What got me on that "mystery" was the fact that five planes went down all at once, and the search plane sent up after them disappeared as well.
According to the transcripts, Taylor said that when the first plane ran out of gas, they'd all go down together. The "lone" search plane was one of 13. It was a Martin Mariner, known as the "Flying Gas Tank" to due the fumes leaking throughout the plane. A merchant vessel in the area reported "a large ball of fire" when that plane went missing, but after investigating the area, could find no wreckage.
Look for the NOVA episode. It’s very well done.
Right up there with the one they did on Erik van Daniken when they all but called him a liar.
“and submarines can access a matchstick’s length from the ceiling.”
No, they can go all the way to the bottom.
Well...in that sense, we can “access” the entire universe, but I know what you mean!
I wonder if it has more to do with the surrounding circumstances, e.g., the entire flight of Grumman TBM (TBF license-built by GM) Avengers, all of which had navigators, disappearing together.
How about the one in which the ship remnants are sucked up the central column of water (dark smudge)?
